Features

Our features explore the science and the people that combine to make the research we do here at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute possible.

We currently have three series of features. The first explores the research and routines of the Sanger Institute's Clinical Fellows; the second marks the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth by exploring the relevance of evolutionary theory for our research; the final series looks at some of our large scale projects to understand the genetic basis of human health.
